Each session has a similar format which again provides a structure that is safe and consistent for the girls. At the beginning of each session, there is a “bead necklace exercise” which helps girls recognize and share their own unique strengths, characteristics, feelings, and experiences. After this introductory exercise, there is a main topic that is covered through discussion and activities which are outlined in the facilitator manual with corresponding worksheets and activities in the girls’ journals. The girls also spend the last few minutes of each session writing in their journals.
